Half Day Training

Certificate IV and Diploma Courses

This unique program is designed to enable especially talented students between 12 & 15 years to receive intensive daily classical ballet training and other associated dance styles, up to 20 hours per week whilst continuing academic studies in a Secondary school environment. Students make arrangements with their current Secondary Schools in order to attend the daily afternoon class timetable. Alternatively, students may continue their Secondary School Studies through Distance Education.

The CUA40113 Certificate IV in Dance and CUA50113 Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance) incorporates two to four hours dance training daily. In addition to daily classical classes, the students attend classes in Pilates based floor limber work, Character, Contemporary, Pointework, Jazz, Repertoire and Partnering.

Performing opportunities include the students participation in a full scale production and a dance display every year.

The Half-Day program is an ideal stepping stone from part-time training to full-time training. The gradual increase in training hours allows careful physical and mental development during the adolescent years, ideally preparing the students for the rigours of full-time training CUA60113 Advanced Diploma of Dance (Elite Performance).
